Assistant Professor, Communication Studies, Tenure-Track, Concentration in Advertising
University of San Francisco
Job Summary:
The Advertising Program in the Department of Communication Studies at the University of San Francisco invites applications for a full-time tenure-track Assistant Professor position to begin in Fall 2018.
The Program: The interdisciplinary Advertising major and minor,
housed in the Department of Communication Studies, was launched in
2009 and has grown rapidly over the years. In Fall 2017 we are
excited to launch a much-anticipated revised curriculum. The
mission of the updated curriculum is to stand out amongst our peers
as an Advertising program that instills a strong sense of social
justice and responsibility in our students while equipping them
with the academic theory, industry tools and practical experience
necessary to build rewarding futures. In addition to mandatory
foundation classes, the revised program offers students the choice
of concentrations and capstone projects. In terms of
concentrations, students can select from the general, research or
creative concentrations; for a capstone project, students pursue
either an internship or a campaign project option.
Job Responsibilities:
The successful candidateâs teaching responsibilities may include introductory theory-based courses (e.g., Advertising and Persuasion, Rhetoric and Consumer Culture, Fundamentals of Creative Strategy, Fundamentals of Creative Development), skills-based courses (e.g., Copywriting, Art Direction, Advertising Research Methods, Innovation in Advertising, or Media Buying and Planning), and/or a capstone course.
The standard tenure-track teaching load at USF consists of two
4-unit courses per semester, plus one additional 4-unit course over
two years (2-2-2-3 over two years). In addition to teaching courses
in her or his areas of specialization, the successful candidate
will serve as a faculty advisor to students in the Advertising
major and minor and perform other service in support of the
Advertising Program in the Communication Studies Department,
College, and University, as well as maintain an active research
program that engages students when possible.
Minimum Requirements:
ABD candidates with industry experience will be considered, but
a doctorate in Advertising, Marketing, Design, Communication or
another Advertising/Education-related field must be earned by
August 2018. Other qualifications include university teaching
experience, evidence of a strong commitment to teaching, evidence
of a strong and ongoing scholarly research program, experience and
willingness to work in a culturally diverse environment, an
understanding of and commitment to support the mission of the
University, and a dedication to service. Preference will be given
to those applicants who, in addition to these qualifications, have
professional experience in advertising.
